​﻿Writer. Artist. Fearless.

I am a 31 year old creator who has been passionate about writing and art since I could barely hold a pencil.Born in New York City, I moved to Miami Florida when I was three. My father wrote for soap operas, including All My Children and Guiding Light, for many years. Sitting down in front of a computer to type for six to ten hours seemed perfectly normal as a child.I was also exposed to a huge variety of cultures because my parents opened the Pelican Playhouse, a theater company in a little city called Miami Springs. It was my creative playground from age 10 onward. My love for the arts has only grown with me. In 2008, I embarked for MCAD (Minneapolis College of Art and Design) only to complete the four year art school in three years.Once that was done, it was on to more book writing and I haven’t stopped since.​

I run #bookfragments on twitter and have been enjoying it immensely.​If you find yourself here looking for the next thrilling chapter of Featherlowplease support my project at my patreon for the full chapters.https://www.patreon.com/ElaryWakefield

What is #Bookfragments?#Bookfragments is my leap of faith. I have been writing for over two decades and I'm finally putting my work out there to be seen. You can read the whole book for free, line by line on my Twitter.If you'd like to read chapter by chapter, please visit my patreon.

What is Featherlow about?Most twelve-year-olds don't have to do battle with corrupted gods:Eva Featherlow doesn’t fall into that category. Featherlow is a middle-grade fantasy, in which a twelve-year-old girl rescues an injured bird, Alister. Eva unknowingly is the key to unlocking the birds hidden powers. She is destined to follow in her mother's footsteps and becomes a sage. Caught between her family and the war threatening to consume the world, she must make a choice: fight or flight.

What is the end goal of this project?My hope is to find a Middle Grade/Young Adult agent and to have this book published.Then I will continue to publish my many stories.

Why twitter?As much as I love to write I struggle to read, aloud and otherwise because of my dyslexia. Twitter helps me break up what would normally be large paragraphs in to small fragments allowing me to read for hours, not just fifteen minutes.

What programs do you use for writing?I use scrivener and grammarly as well as several professional editors because of my dyslexia.

​Are you a part of any writing organizations?I have been a member of S.C.B.W.I. for almost 9 years now. I have had the pleasure of attending over 10 conferences in several states.

What race is Eva?Eva is a human. She is mixed race of Irish (mother) and African (father).She has dark skin, vivid red hair and light freckles all over her body.​
